Israel has once again issued an order for all residents of the Lebanese city of Tyre to evacuate north of the Zahrani River. Since Israel destroyed all the bridges leading there months ago, such evacuations would be virtually impossible for locals.
Israel followed this order up with multiple attacks on Tyre, and for the third time this month, one of the attacks was in the area around the Jabal Amel Hospital, a strike that killed four and wounded seven others, causing damage to the hospital.
That wasn’t the only strike on Tyre itself, with another attack elsewhere in the city killing three people, including a man and his two university student sons, and wounding five others. That attack targeted the city’s Christian quarter.

Jabal Amel hospital has been badly damaged over the past week with multiple Israeli attacks on the area leaving scores wounded, including a large number of staff members working there. Israeli officials have repeatedly claimed the attacks on the hospital were targeting “terror infrastructure.”
Other Israeli attacks were reported in the Nabatieh District, hitting the towns of Zefta, Abba, and Doueir. Those strikes killed at least five people and wounded three others, and the city of Nabatieh has reported intense strikes throughout the day.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a new video declaring that the attacks on southern Lebanon would continue, and claiming that Hezbollah was “in retreat” because of the ongoing attacks on Lebanese towns and cities.
